Michał Owerczuk presented his World War II hybrid short film, “Heavy Water,” at the Festival de Cannes and Marché du Film. The project combines live actors with AI technology after five months in post-production. Actor Maurycy Kacper Popiel performed in the green screen environment, supported by team members Ania Dragun, Przemysław Drops Drosik, the Locomotive crew, and juniors Jakub Zaczek and Maria Żejmo.
Alongside Jagger Waters, Nitin Kundra, and Screen International, Owerczuk participated in the AI For Talent Summit and the Global Production Awards 2025 as the only Polish participants. With support from the Polish Film Institute (Polski Instytut Sztuki Filmowej) and Milena Drincic, he showcased AI technology, node-based systems, and production opportunities in Poland.
Following the festival and several prospective deals, Owerczuk confirmed that his team is preparing the official release of the miniseries “Spec Ops.” The production will be featured at the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, Europe’s largest interactive museum.
